No paywall, different article

Excellent. The winds are favorable for us. I noticed how the article incorrectly stated how Bruen “expanded” gun rights- the rights already exist- Bruen limited the government(s) powers regarding guns.

Expect a hue and cry from the left about the devastating destruction they claim will follow.

Congrats to our Jersey brothers and sisters. Hopefully, they’ll address the hollow point ban.

Jersey, DE and PA. I think this bodes well for the Supremes.

Wonder how long any of those states will take to drag this out.

Yes we are doing pretty well in Pennsylvania.
No magazines ban no firearms ban no ammo ban. But they are trying hard to limit us.

I was surprised it was a 10-5 decision. A win for sure.

Apparently authored by a Biden appointed judge. Maybe just maybe some appointees actually take the job seriously.

I was just mentioning PA was also in the third circuit.

The Cheeseman v. Platkin decision has much less to do with existing PA firearms law than it does with creating a circuit split at the appellate court level. In the attached video, William Kirk details how the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals solidifies the the Heller Common Use Test as reaffirmed by the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen decision. In their well articulated opinion, the 3rd Circuit Court almost certainly forecasts a favorable decision in the pending Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins SCOTUS cases where for the first time the high court will rule on the constitutionality of state level "assault weapon" bans.

Maybe in a rare moment of intellectual honesty that court looked at Bruen, looked at the constitution decided they didn’t wan to get overturned by the supremes and ruled the correct way.

That’s my thinking as well, ElToro. I would guess as a judge it looks bad if your ruling gets overturned on appeal.

Do judges keep a "not-overturned" record, like prosecutors do a conviction record?

From Reuters:
quote:
Friday's ruling came in lawsuits filed by gun rights groups that said New Jersey's law could no longer stand after ​the Supreme Court handed down a landmark Second Amendment ruling in 2022 that expanded gun rights.

From The Hill:
quote:
It’s the latest gun restriction to fall in the wake of the Supreme Court’s expansion of Second Amendment rights.

Uhhh, Point of Order...The Supreme Court 'restored' Second Amendment Rights that had been UNCONSTITUTIONALLY 'Infringed'!

I imagine the .gov in New Jermany will appeal on some contortionist legal opinion that has ZERO basis in either logic or Law!

It is my understanding that all the laws that were reversed are in effect. It is the state's responsibility to overturn them; in the interim, they are all legal currently.
I know the gun-hating politicians of New Jersey will file quickly, and then have to sit on their hands until a court decides whether they should overturn this decision, which is highly unlikely. To all the assholes that are politicians in the state of New Jersey. FUCK YOU!

Unless the Supreme Court stays the 3rd Circuit judgment, the Circuit's ruling is now the law in this circuit.

The state laws remain on the NJ and DE books, but they're unenforceable.

If they appeal wouldn’t it just get lumped into the 2 cases the supremes have agreed to hear next year but have been combined ?
